Chapter 8 of The Invisible Man by H.G.Wells, titled 'In Transit', is a brief account of Gibbons, an amateur naturalist, who hears a man coughing, sneezing, and swearing near him while lying on the open downs. However, he sees nothing and the voice eventually fades away in the direction of Adderdean. This phenomenon disturbs Gibbons' philosophical tranquility and he hurries down the hill towards the village.
